Next steps
- Show an adult how your game works. How long is a round, and when can you save or say goodbye to your team?
- Look at the rest of your day: sleep, homework, meals, friends and time outdoors. Choose gaming time that leaves room for them.
- Agree on a finish time and final round or save point before starting. Do not begin another round that will not fit your agreement.
- Use a timer as a reminder and agree on a warning before the finish time. An adult can help with the transition before time runs out.
- Choose what comes next: a walk with an adult, drawing, play or meeting a friend. Get it ready before gaming ends.
- Write down your agreement. You can save it in Gaming & Screen Time if you use the web test. Try the plan and change it together if it is hard to follow.
- Use your device’s parental settings to restrict other apps and test the choices together. Sprout’s timer does not measure or lock other apps.
Avoid
- Do not send private messages or sensitive images to Sprout support.
